We provide you simple & Smart Solutions, that includes the design, planing and documentation required for the construction of your building or space.
Schematic Design
This is the early concept phase where ideas start taking shape, but nothing is locked in yet.
No construction details yet—no exact wall thicknesses, materials, or specs, but the IDEA.
Some of what happens in schematic design phase:
-
Overall concept
the big idea of the building.
-
Building layout
how spaces relate to each other.
-
Size and massing
how big it is, how it sits on the site.
-
Basic circulation
how people move through it.
-
Preliminary structure
rough idea about systems and materials.
-
Zoning and code feasibility
can it legally exist?
Design Development
Now the schematic idea grows up and gets serious.
Nothing is hand-wavy anymore, but it’s still not instructions for construction yet
Some of what happens in schematic design phase:
-
Refines the plans
room sizes, wall locations and alignments.
-
Chooses major materials
façade systems, roofing, and finishes at a high level.
-
Coordinates structure
MEP, columns, beams, HVAC, plumbing, electrical.
-
Resolves building systems conflicts
duct vs beam vs ceiling height.
-
Develops drawings
sections and elevations with real dimensions.
-
Code compliance
More in-depth review of the building codes.
Contract Documents
Here are the final, legal drawings and written instructions used to price, permit, and build the project.
Every line matters here—contractors rely on these to construct the building.
Highly detailed and coordinated sets, such as:
-
Site plans.
-
Fully dimensioned floor plans.
-
Sections and elevations.
-
Wall sections and details.
-
Door, window, and finish schedules.
-
Structural drawings.
-
Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing drawings.
